What does it mean? Is there anyone who can translate it better than me & Google?

Wendax

Riederberg is a racetrack near Vienna, fesch is an Austrian word for attractive, Kiebitz is a bird (Northern lapwing in English, pavoncella in Italian), Rennen means race. So literally it is an attractive Riederberg race bird, probably a nice looking small racing car.

I guess that 'Kiebitz' translation Wendax provided could also mean something different. The verb "kiebitzen" means something like "to peep" or "to peek". So, he (the driver) is maybe only a spectator of that race. (jokingly meant)
